Characterization of digital cameras for reflected ultraviolet photography; implications for qualitative and quantitative image analysis during forensic examination.
TL;DR: A methodology is presented for processing ultraviolet images based on linear responses and the sensitivity of the respective color channels, which results in images with low noise and high contrast, suitable for qualitative and/or quantitative analysis.

The impact of proficiency testing information and error aversions on the weight given to fingerprint evidence
TL;DR: The impact of proficiency testing information on the weight given to the opinions of fingerprint examiners by mock jurors considering a hypothetical criminal case was examined, suggesting that error aversions of jurors may play an important role in criminal trials.

Comparison of bulk and compound-specific δ13C isotope ratio analyses for the discrimination between cannabis samples.
TL;DR: All the measured cannabinoids showed significant depletion in 13C relative to bulk isotope values; the isotope ratios for THC, CBN, and cannabidiol were on average 1.6% more negative than the bulk values, respectively.

Forensic Facial Comparison: Issues of Admissibility in the Development of Novel Analytical Technique
Xanthe Mallett,Martin Evison +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that further research in science and law will be necessary to more definitively establish admissibility of facial image comparison evidence, as it will for other nascent and novel methods that are potentially influential in court proceedings.

Holistic processing of fingerprints by expert forensic examiners.
TL;DR: This work explores whether holistic processing is present in latent fingerprint examiners, who compare fingerprints collected from crime scenes against a set of standards taken from a suspect, by adapting a composite task widely used in the face recognition and perceptual expertise literatures.
